Gretsch Junior Jet bass...

I've just decided to buy my first (short or long scale) bass, and with the price of this single pickup Junior Jet being only £200 WITH a Danelectro tuner/metronome and shipping, i decided to pull the trigger on it... after a mosey around here, that is.

From what I've been able to find, this bass has a good reputation on the whole, but I'm still curious, please can you give me your experiences of this instrument?

I absolutely love the 2202, which is the predecessor of this model. Well put together, light, balances well, and the pickup is a KILLER. I've put the same pickup into a Bronco and it became my go-to short scale bass.
